Dear Classmates : 

As was stated in my first circular letter, the 
work of preparing the pamphlet to contain the history 
of the Class of '83 since we left Amherst was entrusted 
to me by the Class Secretary. The results of the work 
are now in your hands. I have used the freedom of an 
editor and have culled from the letters what I thought 
most interesting to the Class, sometimes changing 
slightly the language of the writer without indicating 
the changes by breaks in the quotations. 

I desire to acknowledge the aid of all who have 
given addresses, etc., and the special assistance of Mr. 
Rush Rhees and Mr. H. A. Bridgman, the former of 
whom kindly took upon himself the care of carrying 
the pamphlet through the press. 

Hoping that the work will intensify our interest in 
one another and strengthen the bond of class union, 

I am, 
^ ^ Yours in '83, 

/ iT" EDWARD S. PARSONS. 

Brooklyn, N. Y., June, 1886. 



The Class Record. 

July, 1883 to July, 1886. 



Everett A, Aborn writes : — " During the year 1883-4 I was 
teaching in the Shattuck Military School, Faribault, Minn. In 
1884-5 I was one of the instructors in Lake Forest University, Lake 
Forest, 111. For the past year I have been in the Union College of 
Law, Chicago, 111. ; also in the office of E. F. Runyan, Esq., I in- 
tend to practice law ; live in the west ; continue a bachelor ; keep 
out of politics ; remember my friends, and ignore my enemies." 
Address, 1338 Washington Boulevard, Chicago, III. 

Charles S. Adams writes : — " Within two days after deciding 
that my diploma was not worth $13.50 to me, I started for Chicago 
as general assistant and prospective salesman for the branch house 
of Simonds M'f'g Co., of Fitchburg, Mass. With ' Pete ' Rainey I 
commenced to raise the tone of the burg. In November I was trans- 
ferred to ' the road,' and talked buzz-saws in Wisconsin, Indiana, 
and Ohio. In August, 1885, I struck for higher wages, and in conse- 
quence went South to look after my fifty-cent-per-acre Florida land. 
I became so much involved in litigation that I decided to study law 
and save attorney's fees, and entered the Boston University Law 
School. After commencement, June 2, 1886, I shall return South 
to grow up with the country. I am not yet married, shall keep on 
trying. Adams takes his degree of L. L. B. next year. He could 
not take it this year on account of the shortness of his preparation. 

Address, Care A. W. Cockrell ^ Son, Atfys-at-Law, P. O. Box 93, 
Jacksonville, Florida. 

John R. Ayer writes : — " September, October and November, 
1883, I taught a country school in (Hanover) Sprague, Conn. I did 
not find this work conducive to my good health or peace of mind, so 
accepted an offer of a cousin to be general assistant in a large fruit 
raising enterprise. I worked for him for one year, closing January 
I, 1885, part of the time as superintendent at one of his orchards,

and part of the time doing office work in New Britian, Conn. Then 
my brother and I bought a large farm in Sturbridge, Mass., where we 
have been since March, 1885. I was married September 23, 1885, 
to Miss Karoline Rankin, of Newark, N J." Address Fayr Lea, 
Fiskdaie, Mass. 

Clinton J. Backus writes : — " Soon after my graduation, I ac- 
cepted a position as instructor of Latin, Greek and Natural Science, 
in Allen Academy, Chicago, 111., and entered upon my labors therein 
September. Here I had the good fortune of meeting Miss Carrie L. 
Haskins, of Oswego, N. Y., to whom, in the following Spring, I be- 
came engaged. In September, 1884, I became principal of the 
Baldwin English and Classical Academy, St. Paul, Minn., and hold 
that position at the present time. As to my future course, I am as 
yet undecided. When I left college I did not expect to teach more 
than two or three years at the most, but it is by no means improba- 
ble now that I shall continue in that profession for a longer period." 
Address, The Baldwin School, 26 Summit Ave., St. Paul, Minn. 

Edward E, Bancroft writes : — " My first summer after gradua- 
tion was spent in book-keeping; the rest of my time has been devoted 
to the study of medicine at the Harvard Medical School, in Boston, 
Mass., from which I hope to take the degree of M. D. at commence- 
ment, 1886. With regard to the future, no definite plans have been 
made. As during my entire college course, so during this course of 
professional study, I have been favored with the association of A. P. 
Rugg, '83, as a friend and room-mate." Address, South Lancaster, 
Mass. 

Darwin L. Bardwell writes: — "In August, 1883, I went to 
Champaign, 111., where I spent the year, till July, 1884. in visiting 
relatives and teaching two small schools in the county. On my re- 
turn East, I went to Greenwich, Conn., where I was classical in- 
structor in an academy and boarding-school. In June, 1885, I re- 
signed, and soon after accepted the principalship of the Union 
School, at Greenport, L. I. I have eight lady assistants, and the roll 
call numbers about 460 pupils. I am offered increased salary for 
next year and shall stay. I was married to Miss Alice Babb, of 
Champaign, 111., December 28, 1885." Address, Shelbourne, Mass. 

Wallace C. Boyden writes : — " Immediately after graduation I 
commenced a ' still hunt ' for susceptible school committees, and 



finally became principal of the High School in Stoughton, Mass. 
This position I held for one year. In 1884, after a western trip, I 
was appointed instructor in mathematics, in MilHston Seminary, 
Easthampton, Mass., which position I still hold. Two B or not two B, 
that is the question. I decided for the first alternative. I was mar- 
ried June 8, 1885, to Miss Mabel R. Wetherbee, of East Marshfield, 
Mass." Address, Easthampton, Mass. 

Howard A. Bridgman writes: — "From September, 1883, to 
June, 1884, I was principal of the Granby (Mass.) High School. My 
stock of knowledge running low, in the autumn of 1884, I put in for 
repairs at the Hartford Theological Seminary, where I remained un- 
til May, 1885. The following summer found me in Boston, where 
for three months I worked in the Editorial Rooms of the Congrega- 
tionalist. In September, 1885, I entered the middle class at Yale 
Divinity School, with the members of which I hope to graduate in 
May, 1887. I was licensed to preach by the Hampshire West Asso- 
ciation, June 9, 1886." Address, Northampton, Mass. 

Charles H. Butler writes : " I taught in the public schools of 
Washington, D, C, in the fall of 1883 till Christmas. In January, 
1884, I went to Cumberland, M. D., where I remained six months, 
teaching three months also, in the public schools of Gettysburg, Pa. 
Having decided to study theology, when I returned to Washington, 
in the fall of 1884, I began the study under the direction of my 
father, taking Hebrew and Greek Exegesis at Howard University. 
In January, 1886, I came to the Seminary (Lutheran) in Gettysburg, 
Pa., where I am taking an eclectic course, not expecting to graduate. 
Next fall I expect to go to Union Theological Seminary, New York 
City, for the year. I am not married or engaged." Address, 1107 
Eleventh Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. 

Edwin H. Byington writes : " I am neither married nor en- 
gaged. - My first year was spent as General Secretary of the Armory 
Hill Y. M. C. A., in Springfield, Mass., after which I returned to the 
halls of learning and took the Junior Year in Hartford Theological 
Seminary. The Summer of 1885 found me a clergyman /^/-^ /<»w., 
officiating over two small Presbyterian congregations in a cool, quiet 
corner of Nova Scotia (Digby). The past year I have speilt in 
Auburn (N. Y.) Theological Seminary, and on April 15th, after an 
examination before the Cayuga Presbytery of New York, I was 



8 

licensed to preach. I expect to return to Auburn next year." 
Address, 734 State Street, Springfield. Mass. 

Edward A. Cahoon writes : — " After graduation I occupied a 
position in a real estate office in Minneapolis, Minn., until Novem- 
ber, 1884. I then came to New Mexico and am now interested in 
the cattle business, with my post-office at Liberty, San Miguel 
County, N. M. I am not engaged, nor have I any prospects in that 
line." Address, Liberty, San Miguel Co., N. M. 

John A. Callahan writes : — " I taught the English branches at 
Barre, Mass., the first year after graduation. In July, 1884, I was 
elected Principal of the Nonotuck St. Grammar School in Holyoke, 
Mass., which position I now hold. I have six assistants and about 
230 scholars. I am engaged — to no one." Address, Nonotuck St. 
School, Holyoke, Mass. 

Israel F. Chesley writes : — " I came to Pittsfield, July, 1883 ; 
was married, October 31, 1883 ; blessed with a boy, March 29, 1885. 
In July, 1883, I was given charge of the office of S. N. & C. Rus- 
sell, woollen manufacturers. This firm was incorporated Decern) )er, 
1885, and I was elected a director, clerk, and treasurer of this cor- 
poration. These are the bare facts of a busy, happy three years. 
As far as I know, this youngster of ' ours ' takes the cup." Chesley 
married Miss Bertha M., daughter of Mr. S. N. Russell, Pittsfield, 
Mass. The winner of the class cup bears the name of Solomon 
Russell Chesley. Address, Care S. N. and C. Russell M'/'g Co., 
Pittsfield, Mass. 

Irving E. Comins writes: — "I went to work Julys, 1883, at 
Rochdale, Mass., starting a woolen mill, and in the February follow- 
ing began the manufacture of skirt goods. In the spring of 1885 I 
spent two months in England and France, seeking health and knowl- 
edge, and returned to work with health restored. I am neither en- 
gaged nor married, and look calmly towards an old bachelorhood," 
Address, Rochdale, Mass. 

Thomas L. Comstock writes : — " I entered the employ of the 

Turner's Falls Lumber Company the day after our class supper, and 
have stayed here until now, my position changing, until I am now 
head book-keeper and also one of the directors. In the three years 



9 

I have had one ten day's vacation, and may get another this year. 
I am neither married nor engaged. I expect to be in the lumber 
business for some time to come, as I find it conducive to my health, 
wealth and pleasure. I live at my home, in Greenfield, Mass., and 
drive over to the mill. Turner's Falls, every day. I have had a good 
deal of care and responsibility, but have had good luck and much 
to be thankful for." Address, Greenfield, Mass. 

William Claflin writes: — " I passed the summer of 1883 farm- 
ing it at home in Lombard, 111. I studied law during the summer 
and fall, and in January, 1884, entered the law office of S. W. 
Packard. I taught in the Chicago night schools during the winter 
of 1884-5. In November, 1884, I entered the law office of Bryan 
& Hatch, 95 Washington Street, Chicago. During 1884 and the 
spring of 1885 I roomed with H. T. Rainey, '83. In June, 1885, 
my health broke down, and I went to Las Vegas, N. M. Returning 
to Chicago in August, 1885, I obtained an agency for mining ma- 
chinery, and travelled through Colorado and New Mexico till 
October, then taking charge of a concentrating plant at Cerrillas, 
N. M. In November I took charge of the smelter yard of the 
Graphic Mining and Smelting Co., Socorro, N. M. On June 1st I 
shall enter into partnership with my uncle, Isaac Claflin, in the real 
estate business, at 154 Lake Street, Chicago; residence, Lombard, 
111." Claflin expects to be married in September. Address, 154 
Lake Street, Chicago, III, 

Walter C. Clapp writes : — At the time of our graduation I had 
not at all determined my future occupation. I spent the summer 
near Boston, taking a course in chemistry at Harvard. In the fall I 
matriculated at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, N. Y. City. 
Though the conclusion that this was not the place for me was reached 
early in the year, I stayed the year out. Where then ? A network 
of events, among which were disgust at medicine, and a deepening 
.tiigious experience, settled the matter. I received confirmation in 
the Protestant Episcopal Church in November, 1884, and was ad- 
mitted a candidate for priest's orders in May, 1885. The seminary 
year, 1884-5, ^^^'^ begun before my decision was made, so I accepted 
a position as teacher in * The Fifth Avenue School for Boys,' in N. 
Y. City. Last fall, 1885, I entered the Junior Class of the General. 
Theological Seminary, New York City. During the past year I have 
worked as lay superintendent of the Sunday School at St. Paul's 



10 

Chapel, Trinity Parish, and as Lay Reader at Holy Innocents' 
Church, Harlem. I have just entered upon new work in charge of 
a mission at Rockville Center, Long Island. I am not married, and 
at present have no matrimonial prospects or aspirations." Address, 
^j^iB roadway, N, Y. City. 

Frank E. Cotton writes : — "The summer of 1883 was spent at 
Amherst, attending the summer school and tutoring a couple of 
Philadelphia boys. Late in August I came West, expecting to take 
a school in Ottowa, 111, Failing in this, I went to Lanark, in the 
same State, and taught there till April ist, when I gave up ray school 
and also an offer in a larger school, to learn the western lumber 
business at Eau Claire, Wis., where Kendall preceded me. My 
work with the Eau Claire Lumber Company has been varied in 
Eau Claire and St. Louis, in yards and ofifices. I have this 
year, been travelling salesman ; and I close this autobiography as 
book-keeper in one of the St, Louis ofifices of the company. I am 
not married and am not likely to be this summer, though it is re- 
ported in certain localities that I am engaged." Address, Eau 
Claire Lumber Company, St. Louis, Mo. 

Avery F. Cushman writes : — " Since leaving college, in 1883, I 
have been engaged continuously in the study of law. From October 
I, 1883, to June I, 1885, I was at the Boston University School of 
Law, and during those two years I resided in Boston. Since then I 
have been either at my home, in Amherst, or in New York, I was 
admitted to the Suffolk County (Mass.) Bar, July 21, 1885, I en- 
tered the law ofifice of Goodrich, Deady & Goodrich, New York City, 
September 20, 1885, and have remained there ever since. I received 
the degree of LL.B. from Boston University, June 2, 1886. I am 
not married," Address, Care Goodrich, Deady & Goodrich, 59 
Wall Street, New York City. 

Christakis A. Derebey writes : — " The first summer after our 
commencement I stayed at Amherst, The following September, 1883, 
I entered the Hartford Theological Seminary, On account of the 
malaria, which caused a good deal of trouble on me, by the end of 
the year I was very well broken down. But during the summer 
vacation, May 11 to September 13, 1884, which I spent at Shel- 
burne, Mass., with D. L. Bardwell, I recovered somewhat, and I was 
able to take another year in the same seminary ; but when the next 
summer vacation came, 1885, I thought that I could not possibly 



11 

return to Hartford again without putting my health into great danger, 
and, consequently, I decided to go to Andover. The loth of June, 
1886, will close my theological studies. I shall probably stay a year 
or two more in this country, before returning home, and preach or 
teach Greek." Address, Andover, Mass. 

Almon J. Dyer writes: — " I entered Hartford Theological Semi- 
nary September, 1883, and am just about finishing the regular three 
years' course. The long summer vacation of 1884, I spent at home. 
The vacation of 1885, 1 spent in Wilmington, Vt,, supplying the pulpit 
of the Congregational Church of the place. I have just received a call 
to the Congregational Church in Upton, Mass., and shall probably 
accept. I have been engaged since the close of junior year in col- 
lege, and hence my matrimonial prospects simply wait on my minis- 
terial prospects." Dyer was married Mayas, 1886, to Miss Elizabeth 
J. Lovell, of Cummington, Mass. He accepted his call to Upton, 
and was installed June 4, 1886. Address, Upton, Mass. 

George P. Ellison writes : — *' From July till December I waited 
for one of two places which had been promised me as soon as there 
was an opening, but finally becoming disgusted with that life of ease, 
I started in with an insurance firm. In April, 1884, being offered 
one of the positions applied for in the bank business, I severed my 
connection with the insurance business. Since April, 1884, I have 
been most untiring in my efforts to become a bloated bond-holder, 
but as yet have only partially succeeded." Address, Oneida National 
Bank, Utica, N. V. 

Henry Fairbank writes : — 'The history of the past three years 
for me is connected for the most part with Yale Divinity School. 
Eight months of each year, from September till May, I have lived a 
theologue's life. Summers have been spent in various ways. For 
two months after graduation I was a farm laborer at Goshen, Mass. 
The next summer I preached for three months in south-western 
Minnesota (Tyler). Last summer was spent in a grand loaf around 
Hatfield and Amherst. In July, 1886, I sail for India, and engage 
in missionary work under the American Board. One event during 
these years deserves mention, my engagement to Miss Ruby E. 
Harding, Ahmednagar, India. Any members of '83, who are in 
India about the ist of September next, are cordially invited to be 
present at the wedding in Sholapur, in the Presidency of Bombay. 
After that date, any traveller to the Orient will find us at or near 



12 

Ahmednagar, Bombay Presidency, India, which will be my address 
for the next ten years, probably." Fairbank was selected to speak 
at the commencement exercises at the Yale Divinity School, and was 
ordained as a missionary at Hatfield, May 27, 1886, President Seeley 
preaching the sermon. Address Ahmednagar, Bombay Presidency, 
India. 

Walter T. Field writes : — "After commencement I loafed away 
the summer partly in New Hampshire, partly around Boston, and 
partly on the Cape. When I got back to Chicago I found myself 
weighing twenty pounds more than when I left Amherst. About Oct. i 
I secured a position in the publishing house of S. C. Griggs & Co., 
where I have been ever since. As for the future, I don't know. I 
am doing a little work for some of the papers, but it doesn't pay 
enough to keep me in tooth brushes, so I can't consider it anything 
more than a harmless amusement at present. Engaged or married ? 
No, neither ; and it may be marked parenthetically that the prospects 
do not look flattering " Address, Care S. C. Griggs &= Co., 87 and 
89 Wabash Ave., Chicago, III., 

Frank H. Fitts writes: — "It was my hope in college to enter 
the profession of medicine, and with that in view I devoted much 
time to chemistry. During the summer following graduation, while 
at Asbury Park, N. J., I sought a position as teacher of the sciences 
in some school or academy, but not finding what I wanted, I accepted 
a position in the office of the Bradley Fertilizer Company, Boston, 
and entered upon my duties there Oct. 11, 1883. I have been with 
the company ever since ; the first two years in their office, and 
this last year as Superintendent of their sulphuric acid works. The 
manufacture of sulphuric acid is a growing industry and I expect to 
make some form of it my life work. I have actively identified my 
religious life with the Shawmut Cong. Church." Address, Care 
Bradley Fertilizer Co., 27 Kilby Street, Boston, Mass. 

George B. Foster writes: — " My first business engagement 
subsequent to graduation was with a publishing house, D. Lothrop & 
Co., in Boston. After remaining with them about one year I accepted 
a situation with Pulsifer, Jordan & Pfaff, and remained there until 
a severe attack of sickness compelled me to relinquish active duties. 
My health at present is hardly such as to warrant my immediate 
return to business, and my plans have been so disarranged by my 



13 

sickness that I can give no satisfactory information about my future.'' 
Address, North Andover, Mass. 

Edwin Fowler writes: — "When I left Amherst I thought that 
the engineering profession was waiting for just such a person as I, 
So, after a short rest, I began mechanical drafting and a correspond- 
ence with engineers, contractors, etc. While living at home, Gou- 
verneur, N. Y., I began, after several months, to see that I had come 
into the world at the wrong time to get work in any of these lines, 
for the work of mechanical construction was at a standstill. Ac- 
cordingly, in June, 1884, I came to Kansas. For about two months 
I amused myself getting acquainted with the country and selling fire- 
proof safes. On the 28th of August, 1884, 1 began work in the office 
of the Central Loan and Land Co.. Emporia, Kansas, as a stenogra- 
pher, where I have been ever since, though not in the same capacity. 
I am now employed in examining titles, etc. I have the pleasantest 
sort of work and shall probably stay with the company for the next 
two or three years. I am still unmarried. I might remark, how- 
ever, that a prospective trip East in August or September is likely 
to result seriously and necessitate the purchase of two R.R. tickets 
on the return trip." Address, Central Loan and Land Co., Emporia, 
Kansas. 

Enoch W. French writes: — "On the 15th of October, 1883, 
after having passed a successful examination, I was ordered to Fort 
Myer, Va., for a course of instruction required of men enlisted in 
the Signal Corps, U. S. A. I remained at Myer and on duty at the 
Chief Office, Washington, D. C, until June 7, 1884, when I was 
ordered to Nashville, Tenn., as Assistant Observer. While there, I 
was twice recommended for promotion, and on several occasions 
placed in charge of the station. March 13, 1886, I was ordered to 
Fort Grant, A. T., one of the largest and finest military posts in 
Arizona, to become Observer in charge of the Meteorological work 
and operator in charge of the military telegraph office belonging to 
the California and Arizona Division of Military Telegraph Lines. I 
intend to remain in the Signal Corps. I am engaged to Miss Win- 
nie Scott, Amherst, Mass." Address, Fort Grant, Arizona Territory. 

Jonathan Greenleaf writes: — " I have spent the three years 
since graduation in Union Theological Seminary, New York. In 
my vacations I have supplied several churches in New Hampshire, 
chiefly the Presbyterian Church at New Boston. I was licensed to 



14 

preach by the Presbytery of New York, May lo, t886. I graduated 
from Union Theological Seminary May ii, 1886. Since this is the 
confessional box, I must confess that I am engaged to Miss Mary 
Button. Probably a country parish awaits me, but I have yet to 
find it," Address, 334 West e^gth Street, New York City. 

Martin L. Griffin writes:—" On the 20th of October, 1883, I 
opened a laboratory in Holyoke, Mass., as an analytical and con- 
sulting chemist. I expected to be employed chiefly by the paper 
mills, and while this has been the case, I have done work of a great 
variety for all who come. My work has continued to grow beyond 
the city every year. In February, 1884, I became Inspector of Milk 
and Vinegar for this city, and in Februar)^ 1885, I was appointed 
Inspector of Petroleum, both of which offices I still hold. On Sep- 
tember 17, 1885, I became connected with the Hudson River Water 
Power and Paper Co., Mechanicsville, N. Y., as consulting chemist. 
It is my purpose to pursue the same course I have begun. I shall 
go abroad within five years to study industrial chemistry. I am not 
married or engaged. I was elected a member of the Society of 
Chemical Industry of London, May 24, 1886." Address, Holyoke 
Mass. 

Edward A. Guernsey writes: — "The ist of September, 1883, 
found me at Colora, Md., as instructor in Latin and English in a 
boys' fitting school. During the summer of 1885 I went West. In 
the fall I went to River Falls, Wisconsin, as Assistant Principal of 
the High School. Before leaving I became engaged to Miss Lucy 
E. Davies of that city. During this last year I have been post- 
graduate in Latin and Greek at Amherst. I intend to make a 
specialty of these subjects." Address, Amherst, Mass. 

Samuel W. Hallett writes:— "In the fall of 1883 I became 
principal of the grammar schools of Ware, Mass., where I continued 
to teach until March, 1886, when I resigned, to begin a course of 
study in medicine. From Ware I came to Burlington , to hear a 
course of lectures in medicine. I expect to graduate at the College 
of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, and enter practically into 
the profession. I have made no contracts of any kind for the future." 
Address, Hyannis, Mass. 

Walter L. Hallett writes: — " I have been attending the Har- 
vard Medical School ever since I graduated at Amherst, having en- 



15 

tered the September following graduation, and am intending to 
graduate in June, 1886." Address Mansfield, Mass. 

Charles W. Hamilton writes: — "After graduation I spent five 
or six weeks on Cape Cod. On returning to Fond du Lac I assisted 
my father in his lumber interests and other business till January i, 
1884, when I came to Milwaukee to live, and have been connected 
with the Milwaukee Harvester Company ever since. Within a few 
■months after commencing my work here I was appointed assistant 
secretary and treasurer. Our product consists of harvesters, bind" 
ers and mowers. The business is a growing one. I have first- 
rate prospects. As to * engagement or marriage ' I have not entered 
either blissful field, but, as the boy says, *I hopes to' someday." 
Address, Care Milwaukee Harvester Company, Milwaukee, Wis. 

Frederick W. Hamlin writes: — " After leaving college I secured 
a position in a boarding school situated at Nyack-on-the-Hudson, 
N. Y. The summer of 1884 found me at my home in Amherst. I 
was offered a position in Williston Seminary, Easthampton, and ac- 
cepted the offer. The first term, the fall of 1884, passed pleasantly, 
but the second term proved too hard for me, and I went home tired 
out physically and mentally. The result was an attack of brain 
fever, which did not leave me until the middle of August, 1885. In 
October I began a three years' course in the New York Homeopathic 
Medical College. In two years, therefore, I shall be a full-fledged 
M. D. I am not married or engaged." Address, Amherst, Mass. 

David P. Hatch writes: — " I entered Hartford Theological 
Seminary in the fall of 1883, and continued there through the 
course, graduating May 13, 1886. I began my work of preaching in 
Northwestern Minnesota, (Barnesville,) under the A. H. M. S. in the 
summer of 1884. The following summer I supplied a church in 
Shirley, Mass. After graduating at the seminary I accepted a call 
to settle over the Congregational Church in Rockland, Me., begin- 
ning July I, 1886. I have a prospective brother-in-law in the class 
of '83." Make further inquiries of Patton. Hatch expects to be 
ordained July i, 1886. Address, dockland, Me. 

Foster S. Haven writes: — "Since leaving Amherst, three years 
ago, my winters have been spent in New York, in the study of med- 
icine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, from which I grad- 
uated May 13th, 1886. Most of my summers have been passed at 



16 

home in Vergennes, Vermont. My plans for the future are decidedly 
indefinite. For the present I shall stay in New York. Hooker and 
I have continued in partnership as chums the same as at college." 
Address, Vergennes, Vermont. 

Willie P. Holcombe writes : — " After graduation I found myself 
in much perplexity as to my future plans. I spent the summer in 
visiting relatives and friends. The fall found me still undecided, 
but not idle. I lounged and labored in easy but unsatisfying alter- 
nation, till I determined to cut the knot, and began the study of 
law about January i, 1884, in the office of Leonard & Wells, 
Springfield, Mass. There I remained till October i, when I came 
to the Boston Law School, where I have been ever since, taking the 
three years' course in two, and graduating June 2, 1886. Since the 
last named date I have remained in Boston for the Bar examination, 
Suffolk County, which is to occur June 19, after which date my 
plans are absolutely unsettled. I am neither married engaged, 
nor endowed with matrimonial impulses. My diploma from the law 
school, if I rightly guess its translation, entitles me to an L.L. B., 
which suffix, taken in connection with the state of the thermometer 
the day it was awarded, makes 94 degrees conferred upon me at one 
and the same time." Holcombe won the Johnson prize at the law 
school commencement for the best essay on a legal topic. Address, 
P. O, Box 182, West field, Mass. 

Fred. R. Holt writes: — "I have lived in Rochester, N. Y., nearly 
all the time since graduation, and am about to complete the course in 
the Seminary in this city. In addition to regular work, I have been 
for a few months assistant pastor of the Park Avenue BaptistChurch 
in this city. I have accepted a call to the pastorate of the Baptist 
Church at Yates, Orleans County, N. Y,, where I enter upon my 
work at the close of the term, May 23d, 1886, and I am unmarried." 
Address, Yates, Orleans Co., N. Y. 

George E. Hooker writes: — "The first two years after gradu- 
ation I attended Columbia Law School, New York City In the 
summer of 1884 I travelled in the West, spending a short time in 
some of the newest settlements of Dakota. I graduated from the 
law school in May, 1885, was admitted to the New York bar the fol- 
lowing June, and have engaged in practice in New York City since 
then. In the winter of 1885-6 I was managing clerk for Governor 



17

H. Seymour Houghton writes: — "After returning from 
Amherst, I spent the following summer at my home, Monmonth 
Beach, New Jersey, and in the fall began the study of medicine, 
under the direction of Prof. Dennis, of the Bellevue Hospital Med- 
ical College, New York City. The three years' course for the degree 
of M. D. was completed in March, 1886, and, having, from my stand- 
ing in the class secured the choice of positions in Bellevue Hospital, 
I selected the Third Surgical Division, where I remain till October 
1887. My plans are then to pursue a course of study in Europe 
for a time, return home and settle down to practice medicine, just 
where, being yet undecided. Though having no intention of remain- 
ing a bachelor, I am as yet neither engaged nor married." Hough-

out, August, 1885. I immediately came to Rutland, Vermont, where 
I am now night editor on the Daily Herald, the largest and oldest 
paper in the State. I am neither married nor engaged. I expect to 
make newspaper work my profession." Address Care The Rutland 
Herald, Rutla7id, Vermont. 

Alva L. Hyde writes .- — " After devoting the larger part of the 
summer and fall of 1883 to a run of typhoid fever, I assisted my 
father in the lumber business till December, 1884, when I engaged 
in the business permanently with him. I was married May 12, 
1885, to Miss Lulu L. Whitford, of Southbridge, Mass., and we are 
now well established in a new home." Address, Southbridge, Mass. 

John M. Johnson writes : — " I have no history and therefore 
will only answer the questions proposed. I have been working in 
Norwich and receiving a fair income; so have not felt obliged to 



18 

contemplate matrimony. Medals, &c., are no longer coined at Nor- 
wich." Johnson spent the summer of 1884 travelling in Europe.

trust funds. Address, Norwich, Conn. 

Frederick Kendall writes : — " I came to Eau Claire, Wis., 
and began work September i, 1883, for the Eau Claire Lumber 
Company. I began at the bottom round and went into the lumber 
yard, working eleven hours a day. In six months my work was 
somewhat lightened. January i, 1885, I was taken into the ofifice. 
August 25, 1883, I took complete charge of the books of the office. 
I shall continue in the work until I can make a decided improve- 
ment in my condition by a change. In the spring of 1884 Cotton 
came to Eau Claire and engaged in the same business that I was 
doing. I have had charge of the choir in the Baptist Church at 
Eau Claire for two years and a half. I am neither married nor en- 
gaged." Address, Care Eau Claire Lu?nber Coi7ipany, Eau Claire,

Joseph R. Kingman writes: — "I studied law and was ad- 
mitted to the bar April 17, 1885, and am now practicing. The 
aforesaid studying was done in the office of Woods & Hahn, where I 
still remain, and on the office door of which firm I expect about July 
1 to hire my own name painted, as follows: Woods, Hahn & King- 
man. While I have not struck a bonanza, I by no means feel that 
my three years of drudgery have been thrown away. It makes me 
sad to see the boys all following in the wake of Grover, but I have 
never yet been able to assure myself that the bilious turns with which 
I am sometimes afflicted are touches of the 'gentle passion.' Should 
I find myself seriously affected I will let you know." Address, 
Woods, Hah7t 6^ Kingman, Minneapolis, Mi?m.

Amherst I went to Southern Pennsylvania and went to work to learn 
the railroad construction business. Sickness compelled me to give 
this up. After a few months spent at home I went to St. Louis, 
where I took an interest in the flour brokerage concern of M. Left- 
wich & Co. After about fifteen months I came to Memphis, Tenn., 
having received an offer of the management of the flour department 
of R. J. Woods & Co. My lot and work seem cast in the flour busi- 
ness, and I intend to stick to that. I cannot complain of anything 
unpleasant in my business life, and my social life in St. Louis was 
rendered very pleasant by the companionship of E. S. Orr, and here 
by another companionship." Address, Care R. J. Woods &= Co., 
Memphis, Tenn.

remained at my home in Andover, Mass. until the beginning of the 
school year in Barnstable. I then, in March, took the principalship 
of the High school at West Barnstable where I have since been. 
Thus my occupation for the last three years has been that of a 
teacher, and I suppose it will be for some time to come. I have 
had very good success in my work. I am engaged to an Andover 
girl who is the first-assistant at the Grammar school at Andover, 
and a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, 
Boston." Address, P. O. Box 179, Andover, Mass.

Denver. From the latter date till September, 1884, I passed the 
time in the valleys of the North Platte, Mobraza and the Cheyenne 
rivers in Wyoming, Nebraska and Dakota. Returning to Massa-

Horatio B. Newell writes: — "I spent my first year after grad- 
uation, teaching in the academy at Mechanicville, N. Y. The only 
source of discomfort there, was the big girls in school. You can 
hold a whole room full of boys, but when it comes to girls, one is 
enough. I enjoyed teaching more than anything I ever engaged in, 
but at the end of the year I left the school to enter the Chicago 
Theological Seminary. I have had a class of boys in a Mission Sun- 
day school right on the block where that recent Haymarket massa- 
cre took place. One of my boys, after a forcible ejection, warned 



21 

me that he would shoot me the next time he saw me on the street. 
I've seen him since and still live. During the summer of 1885, I 
preached in and near Long Pine, Neb., and I am now at Burnett,

Clarence L. Nichols writes: — "In the fall of 1883, I started 
for the Medical <^.ollege, spending two weeks with Stebbins, then ho ! 
for Philadelphia (Hahnemann Medical College.) The next six 
months were one demd horrid grind, for I actually studied. I 
attended '84's funeral; returned to Philadelphia, and attended dis- 
pensary patients till fall, then dug till spring, when I passed a very 
creditable examination. I first tempted fortune in the town of 
Wallawalla, Washington Territory. In the fall I hied me to 
Portland, Oregon, and engaged in the practice of medicine with my 
father. In the fall of '88 I shall return east, sponge off all you boys 
I may meet, and go to Paris to study surgery." Nichols graduated

on the N. Y. Tribmie in September, 1883. I remained there nearly 
seven months, and then changed to the Commercial Advertiser. I 
left that in October, 1884, for an eight-months trip abroad. After 
my return I was for a time with the publishing house of Fords, 
Howard & Hulbert, and then became business manager of the weekly 
newspaper, Mechanics. I left that late in April, 1886, to become finan- 
cial editor of the Commercial Advertiser. Your humble servant will 
stick to journalism and ' eke out his income ' by writing occasionally 
for other papers. I am not married and not engaged, except in 
journalism." Address, Montclair, N. J.

October 27th, 1883, and was kept from work for five months. I re- 
turned to Fladley, March 31, 1884, and taught for the remainder of 
that year and through the next year. Last September, 1885, I 
entered upon my duties as principal of Smith Academy at Hatfield, 
where I am now located. It is probable that I will remain, another 
year in Hatfield, and after that I halt between two opinions, unde- 
cided whether to go West, or go to Germany for further study. My 



22 

honors, so far, consist in an appointment, December i8, 1885, as 
Secretary of the Academic and High School Teachers' Association, 
of Western Massachusetts. As to matrimony, I am far from that 
blissful state — not even engaged — but there is no telling what a day 
may bring forth." Address, Hatfield, Mass. 

William B. Owen writes : — " At the time of graduation I was 
afflicted with sciatica, which afterward proved to be spine trouble. 
So, for a year, I was unable to do anything. Having fully recovered, 
I entered the Boston University Law School in October, 1884, and 
completed the three years' course in two years, taking the degree of 
LL. B., June 2, 1886. I expect to make a specialty of patent law, 
and I hope to go to Washington, D. C, within a few weeks, entering

illness, I went into his office, 80 Water Street, N. Y. City, and re- 
mained there till July 28. In September, 1884, I entered Yale 
Divinity School, where I expect to graduate in May, 1887. The

where I remained for three months, delivering the Fourth of July 
oration and organizing a church of seventeen members. Llatch and 
Kingman and I explored the sources of the Mississippi River. I 
resumed studies at New Haven in the fall, and in the spring was 
licensed to preach by the New Haven Central Association. The fol-

managed a store in Portland, Oregon, but early in the spring I took 
a mining outfit to some gold mines I had got hold of. I closed out 
my store in Portland in the latter part of 1884. In July of 1S85 I 
was burnt out, losing cabins, saw-mill, quartz well, engine house, etc. 
It left me nothing but a blue shirt, a pair of overalls and a trout 
pole. During the fall of 1885 I acted as newspaper correspondent 
in San Francisco, Cal., and in January of the present year started a 
building and engineering paper, of which I am at present editor and 
part owner. It is impossible to give any forecast of my future for 
more than a few months ahead, as I am likely to to take up anything 
that seems to have the most money in it. I shall probably go mining 
during the coming summer, but will keep up my interest in my paper. 
I am neither married nor engaged." Address, care The Contractor,

hunting, fishing, riding, and learning the Mexican language. The 
next spring I became a partner in the firm since known ay Wilkins

climate is pronounced by many the finest in the world ; there is 
much of historic interest in the scattered remains of the Aztec 
and Toltec civilization ; quail, rabbits and deer furnish good hunt-

I was with them for a year, when the flour mill was changed into a 
paper mill, having been sold to the Kimberly & Clarke Company. I 
began almost immediately then to clerk for Kimberly & Clark, and 
have been in their employ ever since. I have a very good position

main here till ' fired.' " Address, Neenah, Wis.

ing for three months in the fall of 1883, I entered the law office of 
Miller, Lewis & Judson, where I have since remained. I have taken 
the full course at the Chicago Law School, and was admitted to the 
bar last March. My practice is not yet very lucrative. Fortunately 
I have the management and renting of the building in which I have 
my office. I am living at home in a state of single blessedness. I 
expect to remain in Chicago." Address, 94 Washingto7i Street, Chi-

Elbridge J. Whitaker writes:— "Immediately after gradua- 
tion I secured a position in a store in Charlestown, Mass., but busi- 
ness had no charms for me, and the Sheldonville Grammar School 
in Wrentham, Mass., being offered to me, I started out into the 
country to teach the heathen. Two years I labored, until a vacancy 
occurred in the principalship of the high school, when I was trans- 
ferred to that position, which I still hold. During these years, how- 
ever, I have devoted my spare moments to yellow-covered law books. 
and some time in the future I hope to join that profession which 
even the K. of L. reject." Address, 29 Main street, Charlestown, 
Mass. 

Charles T. C. Whitcomb writes: — " I was thinking strongly 
of entering the ministry after leaving Amherst, but when September 
came and passed without the return of strength I had sought during 
the summer, I determined to wait a year and recruit at my home, 
But when I reached home from Maine, where I had spent the sum- 
mer, I found myself very uneasy at the thought of spending a year 
of the best part of my life in apparent idleness. So when there came 
a telegram from the superintendent of schools in Sandwich, Mass., 
offering me the grammar school in that place, I, after some hesita- 
tion, accepted it. It was a ' tough ' school, but I soon learned to 
use my authority. In April, 1884, I accepted for the next year the 
principalship of the high school at Sandwich, where I have worked 
pleasantly and successfully for the past two years, Besides my reg- 
ular work I have taken private pupils, and my four boys of this year 
are headed for Amherst. Last year a Teachers' Association for 
Barnstable County was formed, and the position of president fell to 
my lot. I am not married nor even engaged as yet." Address, 
Provincetown, Mass. 

Charles T. Whittelsey writes:— "The first year after gradu- 
ation I taught in South Berkshire Institute, New Marlboro', Mass., 
as first assistant. September, 1884, I entered the Yale Divinity 
School, where I expect to graduate, May, 1887. During the summer 
of 1885 I preached in Faith Chapel, Springfield, Mass. During the 
summers of 1883 and 1884 I was at home, and I expect to be at 
home this summer. I am not married nor engaged. I have no def- 
inite plans beyond May, 1887, though I expect to preach somewhere. 
I was licensed to preach by the Naugatuck Valley (Conn.) Associa- 
tion, April 13, 1886." Address, Hotchkissville, Conn.

College before the End of the Course. 

James W. Allen writes : — " I left college at the end of Sopho- 
more year, and for four or five months did nothing worth recording. 
In November, '8i, I began work for the Worcester Evening Gazette, 
and have been with them ever since as book-keeper and cashier. I 
shall probably continue to work here an indefinite length of -time, 
and when I do make a change it will probably be to continue the 
same work on another paper. I am living at home with my parents, 
and am neither married nor engaged," Address, *' Gazette" Office, 
Worcester, Mass. 

William C. Atwater writes : — "I left the class at the end of 
Freshman year on account of ill health, and remained out of col- 
lege one year — re-entering and graduating with '84. After gradu- 
ation I entered a banking oiifice in New York, remaining but a short 
time. I was then connected with the wrapping-paper business, and 
since January, 1885, have been connected with the firm of Van 
Vliet, Bostwick & Co., grain commission merchants, 19 and 21 
Bridge Street, New York. It is my intention to remain in business 
— perhaps not in the grain trade. I am neither married nor en- 
gaged." Address, 276 Madison Street, Brooklyn, JV. Y. 

Conrad M. Bardwell writes : — " After leaving college, in 1881, 
I taught for two years in Haydenville, Mass. In 1883 I came to 
Washington Heights, a suburb of Chicago, and taught until the fol- 
lowing March, when I was elected to my present position, the prin- 
cipalship of the Marengo Public School, Marengo, 111. I shall be 
married June 17th to Miss Anna Woleben, a member of my last 
year's graduating class. My plans for the next year are not defi- 
nitely arranged, but I shall probably remain here." Address Ma- 
rengo, III. 

Everett N. Blanke writes : — " To the mutual advantage of 
Amherst College and myself I was suspended at the beginning of 
my second term Sophomore year, for consenting to the maltreatment 



32 

of certain freshmen, whose names I cannot recall. I was innocent, 
but did not care enough about the matter to demand trial by Faculty. 
In January, 1881, I went to Chicago, and soon became employed 
by Phelps, Dodge & Palmer, wholesale boots and shoes. I struck 
for higher wages and was discharged. I tried the wholesale paper 
business, but found the income insufficient for even a single man. 
Having written verses in my youth, I felt competent to edit a news- 
paper, and in April, 1881, began my journalistic career with the first 
issue of the Chicago Morning News. In six months I went to the 
Inter-Ocean. In another six months I became telegraphic editor of 
the Herald. In June, 1883, I became assistant agent for the United 
Press. About July, 1884, I was promoted to the New York ofifice, 
where I remained four months. This was not real journalism, how- 
ever, and when John A. Greene, city editor of the Morning Journal, 
asked me to work for him I gladly consented. I would like, to 
marry, but have no time." Address, The Morning Journal, Tribmie 
Building, New York City. 

Thomas Cochran writes : — " I have nothing to say that I want 
published. 1 am still at the 'Poly ' (Brooklyn Collegiate and Poly- 
technic Institute), where I have been for the last four years. I ex- 
pect to go to the Law School next year in connection with my 
teaching." Address, Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute, 
Brooklyn, N. Y.

to him have been returned, his probable address is care Thomas J. 
Foster, Merrimack, N. H. 

Charles E. French writes: — "I spent the year after leaving 
Amherst at the University of Michigan, in the special study of 
chemistry. Since that time I have gone from office boy to the 
charge of the office of one of the largest factories in Cleveland. 
Since November 1884, I have been secretary and treasurer of the 
Cleveland Carbon Co. I was married November 12, 1885, to Miss 
Mary Nevins of Cleveland, Ohio. Outside of mercantile life I have 
no plans for the future." Address, 1015 {new No), Cedar Avenue 
Cleveland, Ohio. 

Frank J. Goodwin writes: — "After leaving the class of '83 
at the end of the winter term of Freshman^ year, I spent a year in the 
recuperation of my health, and joined the class of '84 in the follow- 



33 

ing spring. After graduation I entered Union Theological Semi- 
nary of New York City, where I finished the first year of the course. 
In the summer of 1885 I occupied a pulpit in Elmwood, Conn., 
where I remained until the last of August. Since that time I have 
been spending my time in general reading, endeavoring at the same 
time to repair the energies which a summer spent among the 
pagans of Connecticut has materially wasted. I shall continue at 
Union in the fall. I am neither married nor engaged, but continue 
to swell the ranks of the jolly bachelors." Address^ 228 Froiit Street, 
New York City. 

Walter P. Hendrickson has not responded. It is reported 
that he is an M.D. As no letters directed to him have been 
returned, his probable address is Care Charles E. Hendrickson, New 
Bedford.^ Mass. 

Edward B. Herrick writes: — " I left the class of '83 at the 
close of Freshman year. I began immediately the study of medi- 
cine under Dr. F. W. Russell of Winchendon, Mass. I remained 
with him until the fall of 1881, when I attended the medical depart- 
ment of the University of the City of New York. I graduated there- 
from in March, 1884. I then attended a course of lectures at the 
Post-graduate Medical School of New York. In August, 1885, I 
became resident physican of the New York City Asylum for the 
Insane, on Wards Island, which position I held until this last March, 
I am now located in Ottowa, Kansas, in the general practice of 
medicine. I was married November 23, 1885." Address, Ottowa 
Kansas. 

Ting Liang; Ho: — Not enough time has yet elapsed to obtain a 
letter from Ho. He is a surgeon on a Chinese vessel. Address, Dr. 
Ho Ting Liang, care Chung Num Yew, Esq., American Consulate, 
Shanghai, China. 

Frank T. Hopkins writes: — " Since leaving college I have been 
living in New York, except during vacation season, attending to the 
study of medicine. I entered the College of Physicians and 
Surgeons in 1882, and graduated in 1885, with the degree of M. D. 
Immediately after I received my degree I obtained by competive 
examination, a position on the staff of the Roosevelt Hospital. 
The course here is about two years and I am just about completing 
first half of it. I have no time to think of either engagement or 



34 

marriage, and no prospects which may encourage such extrava- 
gences. I cannot say where I shall settle in practice. I have the 
choice yet to make." Address, Roosevelt Hospital, s^gth Street and gth 
Avenue, New York City. 

George Frank Jewett writes: — I taught in Straight Univer- 
sity, New Orleans, La., from October, 1880, to June, 1882, and was 
principal of the High School at Lexington, Ky., from September 
1882, to June 1884. I was married June 8, 1882, to a lady from 
Tremont, Ohio, and have one child three years of age. Am a 
member of Harvard College, class of '86, and graduate this month. 
During the coming summer I shall be an assistant in the Harvard 
School of Chemistry. I have also been offered an assistantship in 
chemistry at Harvard for the next year. I have not decided what 
I will do however." Address, Pepperell, Mass. 

Elias B. Jones writes: — " I left college at the end of freshman 
year, and in the following August secured a situation in the Second 
National Bank, Norwich, Conn., where I remained for more than 
two years. In November, 1882, I came to Boston to take a situation 
as bookkeeper in the Bank of Redemption, where I have since been 
occupied. I am unmarried, though there are certain undenied 
rumors as to my not remaining so always. I doubt if you would 
recognize in me the young rascal who once trod the classic halls 
with you. I am much changed, but I love the boys just the same." 
Address, Bank of Redemption, Boston, Mass. 

Nathaniel H. Kirby writes: — "Since I left Amherst I have 
graduated in medicine. I was for one year in Chambers Street 
Hospital, New York City. At the expiration of my term of service 
in the hospital I accepted a position as surgeon on an Italian steamer. 
I staid four months in Italy traveling, and after my return to America 
I traveled for two months in the West. At present I am practicing 
my profession in Binghamton, New York. I am neither married nor 
engaged." Address, Nichols, Tioga County, New York.

chapter. I am not engaged." Address, Waverly, New York. 



35 

William C. Kitchin— His whereabouts I have not been able to 
discover, but Mr. T. J. Evans, of East Weymouth writes: — "In 
regard to Mr. Kitchin I can only say that sometime previous to 
Harry's death (Harry Reed, Kitchin's college chum, see below), he 
received a letter from Kitchin stating that he had been married and 
wished to exchange photographs as he was about to go to China to 
engage in missionary work." 

Frank H. Knight writes: — "After leaving college during the 
first term of senior j^ear I lapsed into ' innocuous desuetude ' for a 
year in consequence of nervous prostration. From February 15 to 
June I, 1884, I attended lectures in Political Economy under Gen. 
Walker, at the Institute of Technology, Boston, Mass. From Feb- 
ruary, 1885, to the end of the college year, I attended lectures in 
History and Political Science at Cornell University. In the fall of 
1885 I entered the Senior Class at Yale College." Knight took a 
special course at Yale not feeling strong enough to do the whole 
work for a degree. Address, East Hartland, Conn.

as I have the power to engage in the law business. I married Miss 
Lottie A,, only daughter of George T. Richardson, of Taunton, 
Mass., on the 5th of May, 1886, and for the present I am boarding

Care Krikorian, as above. 

Frederic B. Mitchell writes :— " I was principal of the East- 
hampton, Conn., High School for two years, leaving it to accept a 
similar position in Thompsonville. The young lady who was to be 



36 

my assistant there was abroad at the time, and knowing her to be a 
Mt. Holyoke Seminary graduate, I was curious to see her. My 
curiosity deepened into interest, and that into the universal passion, 
and before the end of the year we were engaged. After a pleasant 
two years' work, I refused a liberal offer to remain, to enter the Yale 
Law School where I graduated in 1885. Receiving an advantageous 
offer to teach at Thomaston. Conn., as principal of the Academy, I 
accepted it, and am now finishing the school year. I was married

dress, New Britain, Conn.

to make my life profession when learned. I am engaged to Miss 
Annie E. Brown, of Everett, Mass. I resided in East Somerville till 
my mother died July 21, 1884; since which time I have been a resi- 
dent of Everett." Address, 27 Kingston St., Boston, Mass. 

Edward S. Orr, writes: — "I followed H. G's advice and went 
west. I took St. Louis for my battle field and for the first six months 
worked and starved ; then I got a position (Oct. i, 1881) as flouf 
buyer for the firm of Charles P. Burr & Co. of that city. December 
27, 1882, I became a member of the firm, forming a partnership for 
three years. At the end of the three years I decided to go into the 
milling business and so went into the Wing Flour Mill Co., Charles- 
ton, 111., taking one-third of the stock and becoming general mana- 
ger of the business. I am neither married nor engaged. I have been 
a member of the Committee of Appeals (the next thing to a director) 
of the St. Louis Board of Trade and am now president of a little 
R. R. which as yet exists only on paper, but will be built this sum- 
mer. About the future I really have no definite plans, except to 
make whatever I undertake go." Address, Charleston, III. 

Albert R. Palmer writes: — "I left college at the end of sopho- 
more year. In September of the same year, i.e., 1881, I went into 
ray father's store as salesman, which position I occupied till May i, 
1885, at which time my father being called to the presidency of the 



37 

Smith's Cliarities, at Northampton, Mass., I assumed the entire 
charge of the mercantile business at Amherst. In October of the 
same year I sold out and in December came to Chicago and entered

department. I intend to make the carpet business my future busi- 
ness. I am not engaged." Address, Care Marshall Field <5^ Co.,

mained at home (Huntington, Mass.) until September, 1883, when I 
entered the law office of Edward H. Lathrop, Esq., of Springfield, 
Mass. In June, 1884, I was admitted as an attorney at law and

to pay particular attention to those branches which would be spe- 
cially advantageous to me as a physician, i. e., natural history, phil- 
osophy and modern languages. I also became more or less inter- 
ested in athletics. I received the degree of A. B. in 1884, and in the 
fall of the same year I entered the Harvard Medical School. I in- 
tend to take the four years course." Address, 1 Oxford Terrace, Bos- 
ton, Mass. 

J. Wheelwright writes: — "I was obliged to leave the class in 
February, 1883, because of a nervous trouble that affected my head 
and eyes so that I could not study to any advantage. I still suffer 



38 

from this trouble and, though I am about, I am still far from being a 
well man. I married in January, 1884, a young lady from Salem, 
Mass., and settled on a farm a half mile from my old home. We 
have a little girl about a year old. My business, so far as I have had 
any, has been farming. I am trying to put myself under such con- 
ditions that I shall gain strength and health, in which hope my doc- 
tor encourages me." Address, South Byfidd^Mass. 

Gurdon W. Williams writes: — " The fall after my leaving Am- 
herst (i 881) found me at the Boston Law School, Boston, Mass., where 
I remained until the end of the academic year, when, after a short visit 
to Amherst, I returned home to Pittsburgh, Pa. Here I have been, 
ever since, a student at law in the office of my brother N. S. Williams, 
Amherst, '77 until January of 1885, when I was admitted to the 
Alleghany County Bar, and shortly after started out for myself in my 
present location. I ought to have been admitted to the bar a full 
year before I was, but a very severe fit of sickness prevented. I 
have struggled along since my admission, realizing that life is a 
battle ; but I am not very easily discouraged and intend to keep at 
it. I have from time to time written a few fugitive articles for the 
newspapers. I am neither married nor engaged, but am, as yet, 
fancy free." Address, Bakewell Law Building {^Room 54), cor. Grant

Mr. T. J. Evans of East Weymouth, Mass., writes: " After 
leaving College his health being poor he rested until September, 
when he entered Boston University (i88i), for the study of medi- 
cine, but soon after commencing his second year he was forced to 
abandon his studies on account of failing health. Hoping that a 
change of climate would be a benefit he went to Arizona the follow- 
ing February, but failed to receive any benefit and returned home 
in May when he gradually failed until his death, Nov. 29th, 1883, of 
consumption. He married Hattie L. Seymour of Hingham, early in 
1883, who, with a son, Harold W. Reed (born after his father's 
death), now resides in Hingham. He was buried in North Wey- 
mouth, Mass."
